But he couldn't just drop them all in any arbitrary order, because there were foreign keys in place. His workaround was to just run a "drop all tables" script multiple times until there were no more errors. As you can imagine, on a complicated enough schema, this can be really tedious. Even on a small schema, this just doesn't feel like the right way.<br><br>Let's assume the following case:</p>
<blockquote>
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<pre style="padding:10px 20px;font-size:12px;font-family:consolas,lucida console,courier new,courier;-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;"><font color="blue">USE </font><font color="black">[tempdb]</font><font color="gray">;<br></font><font><font><font><font color="blue">GO</font></font></font></font><br><font color="black"><br></font><font color="blue">CREATE SCHEMA </font><font color="black">[blat] </font><font color="blue">AUTHORIZATION </font><font color="black">[dbo]</font><font color="gray">;<br></font><font><font><font><font color="blue">GO</font></font></font></font><br><font color="black"><br></font><font color="blue">CREATE TABLE </font><font color="black">[blat].A<br></font><font color="gray">(<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; </font><font color="black">id </font><font color="blue">INT PRIMARY KEY<br></font><font color="gray">);<br><br></font><font color="blue">CREATE TABLE </font><font color="black">[blat].B<br></font><font color="gray">(<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; </font><font color="black">id </font><font color="blue">INT PRIMARY KEY FOREIGN KEY <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; REFERENCES </font><font color="black">[blat].A</font><font color="gray">(</font><font color="black">id</font><font color="gray">)<br>);<br><br></font><font color="blue">CREATE TABLE </font><font color="black">[blat].C<br></font><font color="gray">(<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; </font><font color="black">id </font><font color="blue">INT FOREIGN KEY <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; REFERENCES </font><font color="black">[blat].B</font><font color="gray">(</font><font color="black">id</font><font color="gray">)<br>);<br><br></font><font color="green">-- let's also create a table in another schema<br>-- that points at tables in this schema:<br><br></font><font color="blue">CREATE TABLE </font><font color="black">[dbo].D<br></font><font color="gray">(<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; </font><font color="black">id1 </font><font color="blue">INT FOREIGN KEY <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; REFERENCES </font><font color="black">[blat].A</font><font color="gray">(</font><font color="black">id</font><font color="gray">),<br>&nbsp;&nbsp; </font><font color="black">id2 </font><font color="blue">INT FOREIGN KEY <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; REFERENCES </font><font color="black">[blat].B</font><font color="gray">(</font><font color="black">id</font><font color="gray">)<br>);<br></font><font><font color="blue">GO</font></font>
</pre></td></tr></table></blockquote>
<p>Initially if you try this:</p>
<blockquote>
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<pre style="padding:10px 20px;font-size:12px;font-family:consolas,lucida console,courier new,courier;-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;"><font color="blue">DROP TABLE </font><font color="black">[blat].A</font><font color="gray">;</font>
</pre></td></tr></table></blockquote>
You get this error message:
<blockquote>
<table bgcolor="#eeeeee" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td>
<div style="color:red;padding:10px 20px;font-size:12px;font-family:consolas,lucida console,courier new,courier;-moz-background-inline-policy:continuous;">
Msg 3726, Level 16, State 1, Line 1<br>Could not drop object 'blat.A' because it is referenced by a FOREIGN KEY constraint. <br></div>
</td></tr></table></blockquote>
<p>So I put together a quick script that would allow you to drop all of the tables in the schema, by first removing all of the foreign key constraints. In this case order within each set of statements is unimportant, so we can use lazy string concatenation instead of more complicated FOR XML queries that allow you to dictate order:</p>

<p>You may also want / need to clear out other objects, such as views that reference objects in this schema, or triggers on tables in other schemas that reference objects in this schema. Those bring about other complications I'll address in a future post, if there is enough interest. </p>
<p>In the meantime, wouldn't it be great if we had CREATE OR REPLACE functionality that would, in addition to preventing us from having to drop all the objects first or write complex existence checks and alter commands, also sever these dependencies for us? You can vote for this functionality at <a href="http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/127219/create-or-replace" title="http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/127219/create-or-replace" target="_blank">Connect #127219</a>. </p>
<p>It would also be nice to have a DROP SCHEMA command that did the same type of thing as I manually do above. Instead of just complaining that the schema is not empty, I'd love to see a DROP SCHEMA ... WITH FORCE option, or something similar, where it took care of all the objects for you - much like DROP DATABASE does. Of course this would be easy to implement in a simple case, but not when schemas have cross-dependencies and references that are embedded in module definitions rather than straightforward DRI and similar constructs.</p><p>&nbsp; <br></p>List SQL Server Instances using the Registryhttp://sqlblog.com/blogs/buck_woody/archive/2010/03/31/list-sql-server-instances-using-the-registry.aspxWed, 31 Mar 2010 13:41:24 GMT21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:23906BuckWoody<p>I read <a href="http://thepowershellguy.com/blogs/posh/archive/2007/06/20/remote-registry-access-and-creating-new-registry-values-with-powershell.aspx" target="_blank">this interesting article on using PowerShell and the registry</a>, and thought I would modify his information a bit to list the SQL Server Instances on a box.

You access these with a SELECT statement, and they are useful when you need a discrete value for use, say in another query or to put into a table. You can read more about those here: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173823.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms173823.aspx</a></p> <p>You also have a few stored procedures you can use. These often bring back a lot more data, pre-formatted for the screen. You access these with the EXECUTE syntax. It is a bit more difficult to take the data they return and get a single value or place the results in another table, but it is possible. You can read more about those here: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187961.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187961.aspx</a></p> <p>Yet another option is to use a system function, which you access with a SELECT statement, which also brings back a discrete value that you can use in a test or to place in another table. You can read about those here: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187812.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187812.aspx</a>&#160;</p> <p>By the way, many of these constructs simply query from tables in the <strong>master </strong>or <strong>msdb </strong>databases for the Instance or the <em>system tables</em> in a user database. You can get much of the information there as well, and there are even system views in each database to show you the meta-data dealing with structure – more on that here: <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186778.aspx">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186778.aspx</a>&#160;</p> <p>Some of these choices are the only way to get at a certain piece of data. But others overlap – you can use one or the other, they both come back with the same data. So, like many Microsoft products, you have multiple ways to do the same thing. And that’s OK – just research what each is used for and how it’s intended to be used, and you’ll be able to select (pun intended) the right choice. </p>Tracking SQL Server Timehttp://sqlblog.com/blogs/buck_woody/archive/2010/01/25/tracking-sql-server-time.aspxMon, 25 Jan 2010 14:10:28 GMT21093a07-8b3d-42db-8cbf-3350fcbf5496:21420BuckWoody<p>In the past few blog posts I’ve showed you how to use several methods to track things in SQL Server. You can use the “tags” to the right of this post here at this site to list things like PowerShell, Performance Tuning and so on. Now that you’re armed with these tools, what should you track?</p> <p>Well, one of the items I track is <em>time</em>. I track the time it takes for lots of things, but they fall into three general buckets:</p> <ol> <li>Queries – Normally I track the five longest running queries with their query plans. </li> <li>Maintenance – From how long each backup takes to index reorgs and rebuilds, I want to know how long these things take.</li> <li>Jobs – Most all of us have SQL Server Agent Jobs, and developing a schedule of how long they are running is very useful.</li> </ol> <p>For each of these, I track the minimum, maximum and average times. I look for outliers – things that suddenly change and so on.</p> <p>There are a lot of uses for this information. From performance tuning to developing a recovery plan, all of these actions need to be taken into account.</p> <p>I think I’ll write up an article sometime on how I do this – it’s a little long for a blog post.</p>
